Behind the scenes of A Night to Remember

We had a fantastic time filming A Night to Remember at the Junior League of Memphis. They were so gracious to let us use the space for this video. Thanks to all of the actors, friends, and crew that made this video possible! Here are a few photos of the shoot.

Memphis' non-event of choice

The No-Go Gala is MIFA’s most successful non-event. Since 1996, more than $700,000 has been raised for MIFA through No-Go donations!

Instead of purchasing a plate at a fancy gala, paying a babysitter, and getting dolled up for a night on the town, don't attend the No-Go Gala, enjoy an evening in, and donate to MIFA!

If you would like to serve on the host committee, or if you would like to be one of our corporate partners, please contact Thomas Robinson at trobinson@mifa.org.

Last year's invitation

Last year, we created the Cookin' Up Change: Recipes for a Night In cookbook. Have a look at the great recipes that people shared with us.
